school, what a career in law should be, or how they should be thinking about the future of law, what the opportunities are. >> well, it is an obvious answer, but one people do not think of. you have to ask yourself why do you want to go the law school. i think there are lot of people who go to law school because they are not good at math and cannot think of anything else to do. [laughter] they often turn out to be very disappointed lawyers. i suppose the better way to put the question is not to ask why you want to go to law school, but why do you want to be a lawyer. you ought to do some serious soul-searching about that because it is always a difficult profession, but particularly these days. if you want to go to serve your community perhaps as a prosecutor, that is a good reason. there's something very gratifying that being able to stand up in court and saying you can speak for your country. same is true on the other side. maybe you feel motivated to represent the rights of those people who are accused. that is another good reason. when they announce a case in court, the bailiff wi

last year i signed into law 1.7 trillion dollars in deficit reduction. tonight's agreement raises $620 billion in revenue from the wealthiest households in america, and there will be more deficit reduction as congress decides what to do about automatic spending cuts we have delayed two months. i want to make this point. i am very open to compromise. i agree with democrats and republicans that the aging population and rising cost of health care makes medicare the biggest contributor to our deficit. i believe we have got to find ways to reform the program without hurting seniors who count on us to survive. i believe there is further unnecessary spending in government we can eliminate, but we cannot simply cut our way to prosperity. cutting spending has to go hand in hand with further reforms to our tax code so the wealthiest corporations and individuals cannot take advantage of loopholes and deductions that are not available to most americans, and we cannot keep cutting things like basic research and new technology and still expect to succeed in the 21st c
